Three weeks after being defeated by Carrie Underwood in the finals of “American Idol,” Bo Bice says he’s happy he lost.
“People ask me, ‘What were you thinking while you stood there waiting for them to announce the winner?'” Bice says in the issue of Rolling Stone magazine on newsstands Friday.
The answer?
“Please, God, don’t let me win this thing.”

Riiiiiiight.

While the logic might be impeccable — I heard many of his fans saying it in the final weeks of the show — does anyone seriously believe him?

And if you missed it, Carrie Underwood’s single is now available for purchase. I picked it up on iTunes the other day.

Oh please, Bice’s performance on the show is enough free publicity that if his stuff is really quality he’ll pick up a choice contract WITHOUT the obligation or limitations on prestige that comes with being THE American Idol.

I’m going to have to go with the consensus here — not being obligated to take career advice from the geniuses behind “Inside Your Heaven” (Bo’s only slightly less painful version of it is now also available at iTunes) seems like a very good thing indeed to me. And when Clive Davis says he wants to produce you, being free to do so seems to be a Very Good Idea Indeed.
